I’m OBSESSED with using sauces and dressings that make a salad not so boring. This miso ginger sauce is silky smooth, deliciously gingery, with the perfect amount of sweet, and umami flavors.

Did you know I had never used miso until last year?! I love the flavors it brings to a recipe, especially my Tempeh Salad with Miso Ginger Dressing.

What is miso? Miso is often used in Japanese cooking and made through a fermentation process either using soybeans and/or a grain. There are many different types of miso...I used white miso paste in most of my recipes. The flavor in white miso paste is a soft umami flavor with a milder and sweeter taste. Because of the fermentation, miso is high in probiotics.

How to make this Miso Sauce:

I love making this in advance since it gives it a chance for the flavors to set in.
However, if you make it when you're ready to eat, it's still just as delicious.
Whisk together miso, ginger paste, tahini, maple syrup, lime, black pepper, and water.
If you make this in advance, refrigerate until you are ready to use. The sauce will thicken in the fridge so add an extra tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Make it as a Miso Ginger Dressing for your favorite salads, top the sauce on toasts (you can use it in place of the miso for this Miso Avocado Toast), or use it as a dip with some roasted veggies! If you liked this Miso Ginger Dressing, you may also love:
